About
Бързи факти: Step into a narrow, low-ceilinged corridor and you can feel the weight of history, with faded wooden panels and wartime scrawls whispering stories of bravery and quiet survival. Remarkably, more than a thousand people used the tunnel daily at the siege’s peak, its cramped dimensions and clandestine entrance turning it into a vital lifeline for supplies, patients, and escape.
Акценти: Crawl through the narrow, roughly 800-meter wartime tunnel and you can still smell damp earth and kerosene, feel the compressed 1.2-meter width that forced people to shuffle in single file, and hear the hollow echo that carried whispered instructions. Every April 6 survivors and visitors quietly place small candles or red carnations by a low ventilation shaft stamped 1993, a humble ritual that turns cold concrete into a personal, human memory.
Insider tips
- Wear closed, flat shoes and a light jacket, the tunnel floor is uneven and stays cool.
- Bring a fully charged phone or small camera, lighting is low and flash is often discouraged.
- Book a morning slot or arrive just before opening to avoid larger guided groups that form midday.
- Ask staff about the small museum displays and maps at the exit to add context, and visit on weekdays to dodge queues.
